Lajos Varga

Lajos received an MSc with the highest honors in Electrical Engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), focusing on wireless communications technology. He attended the Ph.D. program focusing on broadband wireless communications while also lecturing in signal and system theory and contributing to a variety of R&D projects.

Lajos was a development engineer of the MaSat-1 project, co-designing and building the onboard communication system of the satellite that operated for three years – well beyond its original 3-month life plan. In subsequent years, he has served as an R&D engineer, lead developer, and then technical manager for various projects, including aerospace & defense, finance, medical, industrial automation, utilities, and automotive applications.
